FROM THE VAULT: The McDonald's Monopoly Scam

True Crime Creepers

Mogab is out of town this week, so we are releasing one of our favorite episodes from our Patreon vault!

The monopoly game at McDonald’s ran once a year from the late 80s to the early 2000s. yYou’d get different game pieces that you’d peel off your drink cup or your fries container in exchange for prizes ranging from a free small fry or coke to boats, cars, even a million dollars!

But what people didn’t know was that if you were playing after 1989, you had no chance of legitimately winning the big ticket items.
